You're off to a good start Tony! Those tracks look nice.

[406 Silverado]

Jeez.....just looga tha size of that thing!!! What a beast of a model!!!

[Joe Rix]

That is indeed one huge Tiger. Glad to see you get a start on this behemoth Andy. Lookin' good out of the gate.

[Tojo72]

Thanks everyone.That's why the 2yr time frame is good,I'll only go so far before I want to do something else,so there's ti.e to put this aside and still get it done.

[armornutii]

   Glad to hear your appreciation for the time frame Tony, I thought I might have made a mistake by making it so long. Sounds like it will be a good thing.
    I'm looking forward to playing with my Tiger in the future, enjoy watching yours come together....I'll need a bigger table.

Yeah this one would be a time consumer for sure!

[brandonk]

Bookmarked. Man, what a BEAST!!

LOL. It just occurred to me that I said this as I opened the box on my DORA.

[Real G]

Tojo,

I only noticed now that the box is so deep, it looks like you bought a microwave oven!  Great Gaboongas, that Tiger will be BIG.  1/16 is roughly twice the size of 1/35, but the footprint is 2x2=4 times as large!  And the volume is 2x2x2=8 times as much!  Are you going to get any figures to go with it, like maybe a commander perched atop his cupola?  I wonder if Tamiya did a plastic German tank commander for their 1/16 RC tanks?  Those figures are not super-great by any means, but they are relatively inexpensive.

G,it come with the commander,we'll see if I get more or add some accessories,or if I could even make the big figure look right.

   Classy Hobby has a couple of 1/16 Panzer crew, a commander and a second. Both look really good and preliminary build up well. According to my rivet counting brother the uniforms are Heer and not SS so that limits the marking options....I say if ya don't know , common Joe won't know either.

[Tojo72]

Plugging along with some of the details,I did the fans,the vents,PE screens and the MG.I didn't bother with detail painting, just black underneath the screens as you won't see much once closed.Almost ready to glue the deck down,I'm not going to have open hatches on the hull as there isn't much detail,just the commander's hatch in the turret will be open.

[deafpanzer]

Jeez, it is way too big now! Everything looks good. Normally I replace all machine guns with metal barrels but in your case it looks real good and I bet it is very strong and solid too.

[lyle]

That will be lovely - you do great work. This will be good.

[handiabled]

This is coming along great! Have you decided what camo scheme you are doing on this yet?

[kyledehart5]

Excellent! This will be a looker. I am still boggled at the size.

[brandonk]

Oh hell yes!! A winter camo Tiger. Awesome scheme.

[moparmadness]

Great choice!

[Steve Zuleski]

Been feeling better so I've been working on the big cat adding details.The fenders were one piece,I was able to cut them so that they look less uniform,also added some texture to the exhaust cans.The hatches are probably going to stay closed but I added the details to keep my options open,thanks for looking.
